High-throughput capture of ectopic chromosomal sequence
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are a prominent source of genetic instability/variability frequently associating genome rearrangements with the capture of ectopic chromosomal sequences (ECSs) at junctions. Homologous recombination (HR) is considered in textbooks as an error-free DSB repair mechanism that protects against genome instability. Contradicting this dogma, we show that silencing the central HR players RAD51 or BRCA2 suppresses the sequence homology-independent capture of ECS at the junctions of distant DSBs, especially in 53BP1-depleted cells. We confirmed the requirement of RAD51 for ECS capture at a genome-wide level through high-throughput genome translocation sequencing.
